is one of the funny things I did. Yeah, when I get my mind on something, I never stopped 2014 Boston Marathon. This was the year after the terrorist bombings, and I'd always wanted to do the Boston Marathon. So I qualified doing a sub three when I was 17, which actually made me the youngest time qualifier for the 2014 marathon.

But if you look at my time for the 2014 marathon, it was just under seven hours. And that's because I ended up breaking my tibia right before the race. So I did the whole marathon on crutches. Wow. Which I had to get special permission to do anyway. Back to Oxford. Yeah, no, I was my quality of life had been completely destroyed.

I was barely staying afloat with my studies, doing a lot of my work from the hospital. No social life, no romantic social life, really just had nothing beyond what was on paper for me.

Well, that's the great irony is you think I'm in a ketone lab and then I start a ketogenic diet. Somebody might intuit like, oh, he was informed by his studies. That's not at all what happened.

So I had read a beautiful paper by Cox et al and Sell in 2017 about exercise metabolism as an undergrad from this lab in Oxford using exogenous ketones, this ketone ester that had been developed using a grant from DARPA, US military, some like super soldier project to enhance athletic performance. and cognitive performance.

So I was just drawn to actually the possible physical performance boosting effects and just metabolism and physiology. So I went to this lab because I found the work just really fascinating, using the tool as a supplement, completely separate from the diet. At that time, starting at Oxford using ketone esters, I still had a very negative view of the diet. My PI actually did as well.

Her name was Kieran Clark. Keto diet was still in my shit list, I guess you could say. or I had a very negative perception of it. Like I think a lot of people do based on what you see in the media around ketogenic diets and what I had internalized through growing up as a kid in the late 90s and early 2000s, really about what healthy is.
